for whatever reason, using a proxy (the cache-3.lang one) seems to have temporarily fixed it for me. even though in theory it shouldn't.

je suis baffled

So, by the sounds of it, They change one of the two of their IP address of the DNS record to a wrong IP, hence the 50% ish problems?

Right, i understand. I suggest you put the user on your ignore list if you feel he has nothing of any help to say ;

Complain away hammered, your paying the bloody bill!

The question is how long will it take the dum users to figure out how to manually configure alternative dns ips? I suggest trying anything NOT on ntls network to be safe. Try bulldog, bt, lots of nice e.u isps etc.

Tis near me farnborough. Everyone says to keep using differnet proxies and dns. This only fixed google for me (dns) but https sites still do not work. Thats why you cant sign into hotmail.paypal/banking sites/ebay.

VPN to work for the win!
